Question

Halp- it’s due today and I have literally no clue

A car dealer earns $100 a week plus 5.5% on all sales. If he sold $57,000 in cars this week, how much did he earn?

Pls show work if possible

Answer 1

3235

Explanation:

100$ a week plus 3135 which is 5.5% if 57,000

Answer 2

5.5% in decimal form is .055

From this, we can multiply $57,000 by .055, getting $3,135. And since the car dealer gets an extra $100 this week, he gets a total of $3,235.
